Brand Mojo Day One
So, here I am, bright and breezy, sitting at the desk in the office which was magically unearthed after many dusty hours of digging underneath all Hawksey's stuff that had accumulated in here over the last 5 years. Let's hope some of that unopened post we found wasn't actually that urgent hey? Anyway, the room is now…

And now with a title: What a div.
So, to celebrate the end of an Added Value era and the start of a new one, Janine and I spent a very lovely day at Pennyhill Park Spa. Hardly anyone there so had the run of the various hot, warm, tepid and ice rooms and tubs to ourselves, plus pressed every possible button in the…

Roasty toasty, making the mosty
So then, Mr H the king of nice negotiators finally snared a satisfying 60% off the super posh room rates at Huvafen Fushi so I find myself typing this on his iPad, yes still mourning mine, on the lower sun deck of a massively nobby posh giant water villa on stilts in the ever gorgeous…

Maldivian thrills and spills
So another craaaaaazy day on Baros. Pretended that today is our wedding anniversary, and suckered them into providing breakfast in our villa care of two very nice men, plus the vast excitement of a bottle of Prosecco to go wild with. Not a WHOLE bottle of course, that would be insanely profligate, just an ickle…
